YES.
THIS EXACTLY.
REMUS JOHN LUPIN
IS. A. KIND. SOUL.
AND WHEN THEY TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM PHYSICALLY HURTS
(You hear that MsKingBean89)
Sorry for ATYD fans, I'm still pissed at that
Canon Remus is kind (or at least tries to be)
- He was visibly conflicted and uncomfortable when Sirius and James went after Snape in Snape's Worst Memory.
- Sirius even acknowledges that Remus is kind when he says that they [the marauders] were all idiots in school and then adds, "Well, not Moony so much." He says that Remus was "the good boy" and that he made them feel ashamed of their crueler antics sometimes, and Sirius seemed to appreciate this at least in retrospect. (I feel the need to note that when Sirius said that they were "idiots" he did NOT mean stupid. He was agreeing with Harry that their actions were not always harmless fun and that he is not proud of being a bully in his youth, so don't use this as "canon proof" that Sirius and James were brainless dumbasses)
- He went out of his way to encourage Neville and was everyone's favorite DADA professor
- His smile/expression is described as "understanding" at least a few times throughout the series.
- Molly sobbed in his arms after she had the encounter with the Boggart. He comforted her (somewhat awkwardly) and gave her a handkerchief: “Molly, it was just a boggart,” he said soothingly, patting her on the head. “Just a stupid boggart . . .”
- In OoTP, Remus speaks with a lonely werewolf at St. Mungo's while visiting Arthur: "Lupin strolled away from the bed and over to the werewolf, who had no visitors and was looking rather wistfully at the crowd around Mr. Weasley... (it was to escape an uncomfortable family situation, but still, it was kind of him to recognize that the man was feeling lonely on Christmas and might like some company)
- He reassured both McGonagall and Hermione when they tried to blame themselves for Dumbledore's death.
- Before he learned the identity of the werewolf who infected him, he felt pity for them because he understood how terrible it felt to lose himself to the transformation, and he believed for a long while that this was the case for the werewolf that bit him. He held no resentment towards them until he discovered that he had been purposely infected by Fenrir Greyback. (And even after learning the truth, he never expresses outward resentment or a desire for vengeance)
Marauders as things me and my friends have said #3
Sirius: Do you eat or drink cereal
Remus: What on ear-
James: Dreat
Remus: Sirius is my friend and if he loves me, it’s the same way he would love a sibling.
Regulus: Sirius is my brother and if he looked at me the way he looks at you, I would have to see a therapist.
Remus Lupin is..
grounding; feeling the earth with the pads of your toes, breathing in deeply and enjoying the placidity of nature within the moment because you know it’s not always so kind nor fair.
afternoon tea with a favourite classic, pages worn from use, in hand. there’s little serving stands full of food: tiny, triangular sandwiches filled with chocolate spread, tubs of strawberries coated in melted chocolate, little cakes with brown buttercream swirls, biscuits for tea dipping.
wearing two pairs fluffy socks under docs, simultaneously attempting to battle the frosty chill and prevent blisters.
steaming mugs of hot chocolate and a tower of whipped cream and marshmallows, the sweet burn against your tongue after each hesitant, impatient sip.
the gentle billowing of smoke from a lit cigarette, watching it rise up, up, up and wishing to escape with it.
the crackle of a record player after you put the stylus down.
Lily: That sounds like a terrible plan. Remus: Oh, we've had worse.
Give James Acaster a Welsh accent and some facial scarring and he's Remus Lupin tell me otherwise
